CASA ZUNIGA
When you approach the outskirts of Guanajuato, tell your cabbie you want to be dropped off at Pipila (pee-pee-lah) a huge stone statue that everyone knows.
Pipila, whether myth or real man, was a local hero of the independence.
Next from the towering, lit monument to Pipila, is Casa Zuniga -- where proprietor Rick Zuniga is a hero to all travelers.
Casa Zuniga is an inn that is sort of like a large house...but each room has its own bathroom, shower, lockable door, etc.
So you get the best of both worlds -- hotel class accommodations with B&B charm and friendliness.
Rick is a no nonsense guy.
If you start emailing him questions that sound like you're more inclined to want to stay at a Holiday Inn, he has no trouble directing you to such accommodations.
Carmen, Rick's wife, is the other half of the Casa Zuniga team.
She is a quiet, steadying force to Rick's Energizer Bunny-like movements, enthusiasm and constantly running deadpan commentary.
